The correct age for braces treatment is between 12-14 years of age the child has all the permanent teeth fully erupted in mouth. However if Dentist is consulted at an earlier age, it might be possible to avoid fixed braces at all.

40 to 50% of our Cases treated at our clinic are adults.most of the people could not get ortho treatment at early age due to unawareness or financial reasons.there is no age limit provided teeth,gums ,underlying bone are in healty state to accept the treatment.

The period of 6 to 9 months is very crucial for determining the success of the orthodontic treatment as teeth have the tendency to bounce back to original position ,but to counteract this problem patients need to wear retainers,if patient wear retainers as per the instructions then teeth never goes back to previous position.
